Canada

Canada is a country located in North America, bordering the United States to the south; its capital is located at Ottawa. Canada was granted a new constitution in 1982 that gave it full independence from the United Kingdom, following over one hundred years of being a Commonwealth domain. Canada has since been a strong ally of the United Kingdom and the United States, and it has been a partner of NATO and the United Nations. In 2016, it had a population of 36,048,521 people, with 76.7% being white, 14.2% Asian, 4.3% Native Americans, 2.9% blacks, 1.2% Latin Americans, .5% multiracial, and .3% others. The country's ethnic origins are 21% English, 15.8% French, 15.1% Scottish, 13.9% Irish, 10.2% Germans, 4.6% Italians, 4.3% Chinese, 4% Native Americans, 3.9% Ukrainians, and 3.3% Dutch, with 32% identifying simply as "Canadian" (this "ethnic group" mostly consists of French Canadians, Anglo-Canadians, and descendants of the original settlers of Canada). While much of the country (especially the northern islands and northern Canada) is unhabited, its southern and coastal regions are population centers, consisting of a mixture of Anglo-Canadians, French Canadians, and Native Americans.
